Prepare noodles: for rice noodles– soak in cold water to soften, then boil in water until they turn transparent (do not overcook rice noodles or they breaks easily). Strain and set aside. For fresh cooked yellow noodles– since they are already cooked, just blanch in hot water to loose up. Strain and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok on high heat until it’s smoking hot. Add fish balls and fry to slightly brown. Add garlic and salted fish, stir briefly until aromatic. Add in meat and stir until the meat is half cooked. Add in shrimps and stir until meat is cooked and shrimps are just cooked. Dish out but maintain the heat.

Add in more oil to the wok, stir fry noodles on high heat. Return meat, fish balls, and shrimps to the wok. Add in egg omelet strips, bean sprouts, and green onion. Stir a few times to mix all ingredients together. Add seasonings to taste.

Yes, this is a very good way to create a new dish using leftover ingredients. When I want to clean up lots of veggies in my fridge, I will first think of making curry vegetables, if not then it’s clay pot dish. I love clay pot dish too and it’s very versatile– seafood, meat, veggies, combo, spicy/non-spicy or other flavor etc… best of all, I cook foods in the clay pot and bring the clay pot to the table, less cleaning and the clay pot keeps the food hot for a very long time.
